Takkarist McKinley Returns To Practice

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (groin) is back at practice on Friday after missing the last two days. McKinley is one of the better young pass rushers in the game and already has two sacks through the first two weeks. He's not a lock to play in Week 3 against the Saints, and if […]

Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles Not Practicing Friday

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) remained out of practice on Friday, indicating that they are both unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Colts. It's shaping up for Corey Clement to be the lead back this Sunday, with Wendell Smallwood and rookie Josh Adams backing him up. Clement […]

Taylor Lewan Clears Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol and should be active in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Against a strong pass rush of the Jaguars, this is excellent news for whoever is under center for the Titans this Sunday.

Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple Not Practicing Friday

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) are not practicing on Friday. Neither player has practiced all week, making it doubtful that they'll suit up for Week 3 against the Texans. If neither play, it's good news for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and the rest of the offense on […]

Sean Lee Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Lee has had a quiet start to the season but is a tackling machine and is a strong IDP play when he's on the field.

Jadeveon Clowney Expected To Play

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said it looks like defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (back) will be able to play in Week 3 against the Giants. The oft-injured Clowney missed last week but should be able to return on Sunday. He's a must-start in IDP leagues if he's active against a weak Giants offensive line.

Richard Sherman Expected To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he expects cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) to practice on Friday and play in Week 3 against the Chiefs. "I expect him to be out there (Sunday). He didn't practice yesterday; he's had some wear and tear on his heel ... We're taking it smart with him," […]

Marquise Goodwin To Be Game-Time Decision

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Chiefs. "He’s not there yet. Hopefully, he will be Sunday," Shanahan said. Goodwin has a great matchup against the non-existent Chiefs secondary if he plays, but he looks to be 50-50 right […]

LeSean McCoy's Status Up In The Air

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) is wearing a non-contact jersey at practice on Friday for the third straight day. His availability for Week 3 against the Vikings is very much up in the air. This could come down to a game-time decision as a pain-tolerance issue for McCoy. Even if Shady does play, […]

Alshon Jeffery Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) has yet to be cleared for contact. Jeffery has made progress the last two weeks, but it looks like his season debut will have to wait until at least Week 4. With him expected out again this weekend against the Colts, Nelson Agholor and tight end Zach Ertz […]

Jay Ajayi Still Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said running back Jay Ajayi (back) is still day-to-day. Ajayi will need to at least practice on a limited basis on Friday to play in Week 3 against the Colts after sitting out both Wednesday and Thursday. At this point, it's not looking good for Ajayi, but he could […]

T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice Friday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) returned to practice on Friday. It's a good sign after he sat out both Wednesday and Thursday. Hilton should be fine for Week 3 against the Eagles and remains quarterback Andrew Luck's favorite target. The 28-year-old has 12 catches on 22 targets for 129 yards and two touchdowns […]

Marlon Mack, Jack Doyle Not Practicing Friday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (foot, hamstring) and tight end Jack Doyle (hip) both remained out of practice on Friday. Both players haven't practiced all week, so that doesn't look good for their availability in Week 3 against the Eagles. If both are forced to sit out, that'd be good news for rookie running […]

Aaron Rodgers Expected To Practice Saturday

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said it's the goal for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) to practice on Saturday. It's the same routine that Rodgers went through last week when he played all of the Week 3 tie against the Vikings. Expect him to be less than 100 percent again but still play against […]

Rob Gronkowski's Ankle Injury Is Not Serious

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's (ankle) injury isn't serious, and he told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Friday that he was limited in practice on Thursday because he wanted to take it easy. He shouldn't be limited at all for Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. Look for Gronk to bounce […]

Addison Russell's Ex-Wife Accuses Him Of Physical Abuse

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell's ex-wife, Melisa Reidy-Russell, has accused him of physical mistreatment in a blog on her Instagram account. Abuse allegations first surfaced in June of last year, and Russell called the claim "false and hurtful" in a statement. MLB investigated the accusation of domestic violence, but Reidy-Russell declined to cooperate. It's unclear […]

Terrance Williams Facing Suspension

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams is facing a suspension from the league in the range of two to four games, according to sources. Since no decision has been reached at this stage, it's unlikely the NFL will take any action before the team's Week 3 game against the Seahawks. The potential suspension stems from […]

Tyrod Taylor Ruled Out With Concussion

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Thursday night game against the Jets with a concussion. Taylor was terrible in the first half, going 4-for-14 for 19 yards while also rushing four times for 22 yards. In his place, rookie Baker Mayfield took […]

Baker Mayfield Makes NFL Debut On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick, entered the game on Thursday late in the second quarter against the Jets to replace the injured Tyrod Taylor (head). It remains to be seen if Taylor will be cleared to return in the second half, but even if he is, the Browns will […]

Tyrod Taylor Being Evaluated For Concussion

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor (head) is being evaluated for a concussion at the end of the first half on Thursday against the Jets. Taylor was atrocious in the first two quarters, going 4-for-14 for just 19 yards. He also ran four times for 22 yards. Even if Taylor is cleared to return to this […]

Eduardo Nunez Out This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will miss the entire weekend with a hamstring injury. It was initially believed that Nunez aggravated a knee injury, but it's his hamstring. Either way, he won't play at all this weekend and might not play much at all over the final week of the season in order […]

Sean Newcomb's Next Start To Be Skipped

The Atlanta Braves will skip starting pitcher Sean Newcomb's next start. Instead, Mike Foltynewicz will start on Saturday and Anibal Sanchez will go on Sunday in the series finale against the Phillies. While Newcomb has been solid overall in 2018, he's been bad lately, so the Braves are probably just trying to get him a […]

Travis Benjamin, Antonio Gates Miss Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) and tight end Antonio Gates (illness) both missed practice on Thursday. Benjamin was limited on Wednesday, so this is surely bad news for his chances of returning in Week 3. Gates is nearing the end of his career and just can't be trusted for fantasy purposes anymore. […]

Richard Sherman, Jaquiski Tartt Sit Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) both missed practice on Thursday. Tartt also missed on Wednesday, so his status isn't looking good for Week 3 against the Chiefs. This is a new injury for Sherman and is concerning considering he missed time last year with an Achilles ailment. If […]

Marquise Goodwin Limited Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (quadriceps) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Goodwin was injured in Week 1 and sat out in Week 2, so he's still looking for his first catch of the season after being a popular breakout candidate in fantasy drafts. If he can return […]

Neal Sterling Inactive Thursday

New York Jets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) is inactive in Week 3 against the Browns on Thursday. Sterling caught three passes on three targets in the season opener but didn't have a single target in Week 2 and can be avoided in fantasy leagues. The Jets tight end situation won't yield much in terms […]

Jarvis Landry Active Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) is active for the Week 3 game against the Jets on Thursday. Landry was never in danger of missing this contest as the team's top receiver. He has a healthy 22 targets through two games and should see even more looks moving forward now that Josh Gordon is […]

Carlos Hyde Expected To Play Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde is expecting the birth of his child on Thursday but is expected to go straight from the hospital to the stadium to play, according to a couple of team sources. Hyde isn't listed among the team's inactives for Thursday's game against the Jets, so they believe he'll be there […]

Marcus Mariota Makes Progress In Practice

Updating previous reports, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) made improvements in Thursday's practice, but offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur said the team will still take it "day by day and see where he is on Sunday." Mariota was able to drive the ball further down the field for the first time since injuring his elbow […]

Leonard Fournette Says He Feels Much Better

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) said his injured right hamstring feels much better than it did last week and he is hoping to be able to return in Week 3 against the Titans after sitting out last Sunday. He was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. "It felt good out there," Fournette […]
